Neuromodulator or botulinum toxin injections—commonly known by brand names like Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®—are among the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments worldwide. At Modern Dermatology, we offer expertly administered injections to help soften fine lines, smooth wrinkles, and restore a refreshed, natural look.
What Are Botulinum Toxin Injections?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, the treatment helps reduce dynamic wrinkles—those formed from repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling.
Common Treatment Areas
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines, chin dimpling, and gummy smiles
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Jawline slimming (masseter muscle)
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Consultation: Your provider will assess your facial anatomy and goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
- Treatment: A fine needle is used to inject precise amounts of botulinum toxin into the targeted muscles. The procedure is quick—usually completed in under 15 minutes.
- No Downtime: You can return to most activities immediately. Minor redness or swelling at the injection sites is normal and temporary.
When Will I See Results?
- Initial effects: Within 3–5 days
- Full results: 7–10 days post-treatment
- Duration: Effects typically last 3 to 4 months
- Maintenance: Regular treatments help maintain results and may even prevent the formation of deeper lines over time.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Botulinum toxin injections are FDA-approved and safe when administered by trained professionals. At Modern Dermatology, our physicians have advanced medical training and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
Side Effects and Considerations
Most patients experience no side effects beyond minor swelling or bruising. Rare risks may include:
- Mild headache
- Temporary eyelid or brow drooping
- Asymmetry
- Allergic reaction (extremely rare)
You should avoid lying down or rubbing the treated area for at least 4–6 hours after treatment and avoid strenuous activity or travel for 24–48 hours as advised.
Who Is Not a Candidate?
Botulinum toxin injections are not recommended for individuals who are:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Allergic to botulinum toxin or ingredients in the formulation
- Diagnosed with certain neuromuscular conditions (e.g., myasthenia gravis)
Always disclose your medical history and medications during your consultation.
